I broke my bat on Johnny's head; somebody snitched on me. I hid a frog in sister's bed; somebody snitched on me. I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug,I made Tommy eat a bug, Bought some gum with a penny slug; somebody snitched on me. Oh,(chorus)

I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas.Mommy and Daddy are mad. I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.(verse) I put a tack on teacher's chair, somebody snitched on me. I tied a knot in Susie's hair; somebody snitched on me. I did a dance on Mommy's plants, climbed a tree and tore my pants.

Filled the sugar bowl with ants; somebody snitched on me. So,(repeat chorus) (verse)I won't be seeing Santa Claus; somebody snitched on me. He won't come visit me because somebody snitched on me. Next year I'll be going straight, next year I'll be good, just wait.
